LOGAN – The efforts of a group of 10 Utah State University journalism and communication graduates were recognized recently when they won a national Edward R. Murrow Award for a half-hour program they produced examining Cache Valley’s environmental challenges.
“Cache Rendezvous: Better Than We Found It” includes in-depth conversations about water, land and air issues in the valley.
Working in pairs, students were in a JCOM class taught by Brian Champagne and Chris Garff, who said the class culture became one of challenging each other to do better.
With Kainoa Johnson as the show producer, other students were Katie Varga, Claire Scott, Morgan Perkins, Zahra Nasir, Marcus Lamb, Anna Johnson, Paige Johnson, Verl Johansen and Noah Giles.
The 2024 Edward R. Murrow Awards Gala is Monday, Oct. 14 at Gotham Hall in New York City.
More than 5,000 entries competed for this year’s awards.
On this edition of Cache Rendezvous, we explore some of the environmental issues impacting our land, air, and water.
